The Kaduna State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said it is unbothered by the defection of former state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to the Social Democratic Party.
Earlier reports confirmed that El-Rufai dumped the ruling party for the Social Democratic Party
The former governor cited a growing misalignment between his personal values and the current direction of the APC as the primary reason for his decision.
However, reacting to the defection, the Secretary of the Kaduna APC, Yahaya Baba-Pate, said the party remained unperturbed by the defection of the former governor.
Baba-Pate maintained that the party remained focused on strengthening its structure and delivering electoral victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in 2027.
“We are unperturbed by former Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s defection to another party.
“Our main focus in Kaduna is on how to deliver the state to both President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani in 2027,” he stated.
